Back in November Autodesk announced and showcased an early preview of Autodesk Inventor Fusion for the Mac. In February Autodesk spoke to Architosh and detailed this preview further with us. Now the company announced the product is available and free as a Technology Preview at www.inventorfusion.com.

Surfacing Suppport – users can now work seamlessly between solids and surfaces, expanding their confidence and capabilities to tackle design changes. Translators for Parasolid, Rhino, IGES and AliasDesign have been enhanced

Simplified Wizards – Simulation users now have one button simplification of designs. This makes simplifying common geometry fast and easy and ensures that mesh and solves times are as fast as possible

Ease of Use Improvements – New menu marking, sketch ease of use and modeling ease of use have all been improved

Inventor Fusion for Mac Technology Preview 2012 is fully interoperable with AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor software, enabling customers to choose the modeling approach that is right for the task at hand. The Apple OS X compatible version of the technology preview expires on 1 January 2013. That means users can embrace and enjoy this new Mac MCAD product now until the end of the year.
